Chapter 20

Maya led Sam deep into the cave. David told her he was giving Sam this room to make sure he behaved.

Apparently Paul and Marko had already took the time to decorate the room for Sam.

Maya opened the door motioning Sam to go in.

Sam walked into the room only to freeze. All of his stuff was here. His comics. His books. His posters. Everything except for the furniture.

Sam jerked back to Maya

She glanced up and shrugged "Paul and Marko collected everything last night. They decorated it before they came to get you. They want you to feel welcomed here."

Sam nodded before sitting down on the bed. He kept glancing at her. He wanted to ask how she became a vampire but was afraid to make her angry.

Maya however was listening in as David instructed her too. David was not sure how Sam would take to living here.

"It was an accident." Maya stated.

Sam watched as she came and climbed on the bed with him. She laid back against the pillows and stared at the celling.

Sam slowly laid beside her. "How?"

"I used to live on the street. I was homeless. The Surf Nazis called us Street Rats but we called ourselves The Lost Ones. We were lost to society so they forgot about us."

Maya stopped speaking as emotions bubbled up. A tear ran down her face as she remembered all those she left behind.

Sam watched the tear fall. He reached forward and ran his thumb along Maya's cheek wiping the tear away. "I don't think you're lost. I see you."

Maya smiled at Sam and he returned the smile.

"So what happened next?" He asked.

"I was a part of this lost ones group filled with about 12 kids. We were different ages but we knew to survive we had to work together. There was this boy. I can't remember his name but he somehow found the cave. At that time David kept his blood in a glass wine bottle. The boy found the bottle and Marko's jacket. He took both items when he left the cave. He hated me and I hated him. The funny thing is that I can't even remember why I hated him. I just know I did. Somehow he realized that it was blood in the bottle and as a joke he convinced me to drink it."

Sam gasped. "You're kidding?!"

Maya shook her head "I kept drinking until this other kid stopped me. I passed out after that. When I came too I realized where this boy got this stuff. It was pretty scary at the time. I thought for sure the lost boys would kill all of us. I walked this little girl to the police station because she wanted to go home but on the way back to the factory the hunger pains hit."

Maya sat up and moved away from Sam. She was not sure how he would take the news. "There was this guy walking down the alley where I was. He was a creep. He saw me and tried to feel me up. His neck was right by my mouth and I just lost it. I leaned forward and bit him hard. By the time he realized what was happening it was too late. David and the other appeared. We went back to the factory and killed everyone there. We took back the blood and Marko's jacket before burning the building to the ground."

Sam sat up and pulled Maya to him. Sam didn't blame her.

Maya pulled away from Sam. "David and the others are good people Sam. They will look out for you and take care of you if you show that you will do the same for them. I know it's not ideal. The whole blood drinking thing but David is willing to work with you if you just feed. I don't feed on the innocent. I refuse too. David allows me to feed on the surf Nazis and other known bad guys. I can survive in this life and so can you."

Sam frowned "I don't know if I can Maya. You're still killing someone every night."

Maya frowned. "Sam I…"

"Time for bed children"

Both teens jumped and glanced toward the door where David stood.

Maya glanced between David and Sam. She didn't want to leave Sam.

"Maya" David gave her a look.

She slowly stood up and walked to the door. "Good Morning Sam. See you in the evening."

Maya disappeared out the door leaving Sam with David.

David walked into the room placing two bottles of water on the side table. "This is in case you get thirsty during the day. There's a bathroom through that door and, before you get any ideas, we already made sure there was nothing in there that could hurt us."

Sam frowned.

David sat down in the chair by the desk. "You will be expected to try and sleep during the day so that you can be with us at night. You will not go anywhere without one of us with you. That does not include Maya or Laddie. There are rules you will have to obey but we will get to those later."

Sam nodded his head. He was not sure about this at all.

David rose from the chair and walked toward the door "until you have earned my trust this door will be locked during the day. There's a flashlight and batteries in the side drawer for you to use to see with. Any questions?"

Sam shook his head.

David smiled "Good. Have a good sleep Sam. See you this evening."

David shut the door and locked it with a click.

The kid was taking this better than Michael had. Maybe the Lost Boys could shape him to be one of them. After all he was still young.

David turned and disappeared into the dark. He deserved some peaceful rest after the last couple nights he had to deal with.

Sam sighed. He slowly laid down on the bed. He was trapped and now there was no way out.

Sam yawned and slowly fell asleep. He would figure everything out tomorrow.
